Care Provider Intern

Are you passionate about people and want to join an innovative, creative, and dynamic team that helps transform the lives and well-being of individuals and families in our community?

LivingWell Institute (LWI) is a community nonprofit that offers a unique approach to wellness where compassionate providers help people discover how to improve their well–being and live a life full of purpose and passion.  Our mission is to educate, engage and empower individuals to take responsibility for the challenges in their life, find ways to overcome these issues, and sustain the changes that have been made through wellness in mind, body and spirit.

As part of our services, we provide creative and holistic Lifestyle Education Programs and family restoration services for individuals and families.  These families struggle with traumatic life experiences, chronic pain, addiction recovery, mental health concerns, or have had their children removed from their care. The programs and services are offered throughout Dauphin County, in community and at the homes of clients and families.  Services are also provided at our clinical hub in Hershey, our LivingWell Home in Harrisburg, and the RiverExchange in York County. Our programs are offered with a collaborative team-based approach that includes the clients' families, support network, and community based resources.
